Culvert repair closes Highway 144

May reopen by Friday

State Highway 144 between Orchard and Goodrich is closed due to a damaged concrete box culvert, according to a press release.

The Colorado Department of Transportation is working on emergency repairs to the box culvert at mile 8.8, about a 1.5 miles west of Goodrich.

The earliest CDOT expects the highway to reopen is Friday.

However, this is only an estimate, CDOT cautioned.

In the meantime, drivers will need to use alternate routes to access locations between Orchard and Goodrich.
